Tucked away among the pawn shops, car lots, and Mexican tiendas on Chapman Hwy. is an inconspicuous gem. I'm not exactly sure what to call it, but painted on its front window are a jumble of the words Pupusaria Tacqueria Restaurant Quetzal. The person who told us about it just called it Quetzal. It's in the little strip with the historic white Parkway Hotel and the aptly worded yellow "Good Food" sign. And it is good food. One of the things I miss about living in San Franciso is our favorite pupusaria - cheap, hand-made, fried, corn & cheese tortilla heaven. Well now, we have Quetzal. For $18, we shared 4 fried pupusas - 2 filled with soft cheese, 2 filled with beans, served with traditional sweet cabbage salad and a large steaming bowl of hot sauce; a large plate of huevos rancheros; and 10 hand-made-on-the-spot thick pupusas (unfilled) to take home. Pupusas are Salvadoran by tradition, but I think the owners of this restaurant may be Quatemalan. It's really good. You should go.
